Description
Morphology
Small cavity opened in the wall at the base of a limestone needle. It is a single, short gallery 2.3 metres long with a small 2.3-metre pit opened in the floor.
Speleothems
The whole cavity is covered with concretions.
Progression
You have to climb about 2.5 metres to reach the entrance.
History
Although it has remained unpublished until now, in the old editions of the 'Garraf' map by Editorial Alpina, an avenc de les Agulles was already mentioned, without giving details, but we think it must be the same cavity. Lluís Muntan also has it listed in one of his lists of cavities in Garraf and for all this we deduce that at some point in the 1950s it would have been visited by members of the GES – CMB.
